Beautiful Family Time. Great Shopping. Meet Lawrence

Hi Everyone.  Happy Friday.

This has been a busy week for me.  My mom came in from Florida to stay with us.  We are having our newest grand baby Charlotte's baptism tomorrow.

We have been preparing a big celebration for this sweet little one tomorrow.  Lots of family, friends and good food after the baptism.  I cannot believe she is 9 weeks old already.

While I was down watching the girls with my mom this week we decided to do a little primitive decorating.  My daughter lives out in the country and she loves primitive decor.  Seriously you pass cows on the way to the grocery store lol!
 I thought I would play and do some cute vignettes for her.  I gave her this cute chippy flower box awhile ago so I collected some things from around the house to add to the vignette.  That cute owl was made by Judy from 20 North Ora a while back and gifted to me.  Judy makes the cutest pillows.  Now I am thinking I need that cute white chippy flower box back for my house!!!!

I played on her porch with some fun prim decor.  The wagon is a fun vintage find.  The wheels are fabulous.

I gave Jen this white chippy chair when we moved.  Loved that sweet chair from my old laundry room.  So happy it has a new place on her front porch.

I added this fun basket and some of her prim bee items.  Now her porch has a little summer and beginning fall feel.

A  fun trip to Morris with my mom yesterday.
Morris Illinois is where all my fave little shops are and a great tea room to have lunch.  Such a sweet and quaint town to visit.  One of the shops I love is Whimsy.  I thought I would show you a few pics of this great shop and then let you meet Lawrence who I adopted and took home!!!!

Traci that owns Whimsy has some of the cutest and unique pieces of jewelry.  Love the way she displays all her treasures for sale.

Lots of cute fall tops in stock.  Had some fun going through those racks.  Sorry for the grainy pics from my cell phone.  Take my word this shop is fabulous and the displays are beautiful.

Oh la la Paris anyone!!!!

Before I introduce you to Lawrence I want you to meet his brothers David and Eugene riding their vintage tricycle!

This is Lawrence by the front door of the shop.  As you can see my cell phone camera does not adjust for lighting.  Believe me he was so cute greeting everyone as they came in the door of the shop

Since I did not get a great pic of him in the shop I took one this morning at home for this post.  It is rainy and cloudy here in Chicago land today.

Look at his cute little overalls with a pumpkin and straw in his pocket.

He was just so sweet and cute I brought him home to be part of my fall front porch decor.  He lights up at night too.

I found a cute vintage basket that I will fill with gourds, pumpkins and fall flowers to put with him on the porch.  I might add some white chippy paint to his ladder.

 Still to much like summer to start the fall decor just yet.  It was fun to find this sweet guy and have him ready for fall.

Well I am off the grid for awhile with all the fun things going on with my mom in and family gatherings.
Have a great week end.
Just enjoy these last days of summer.
Fall will be moving in soon.
Hugs,
Kris
